En réponse à Jan van Steenbergen :
True, but would that really matter for a native speaker of Carradjena? I mean, no native speaker of English seems to have a problem that "two" and "second" look somewhat differently. Usually, native speakers take their language for granted, including its oddities. Only very few people in the Netherlands are aware of the fact that it is odd that we say "acht" for 8, and "tachtig" for 80.
Indeed, I've often been surprised at that ;))) . I often feel like saying *"achtig" but manage to correct myself before it's too late ;))) . BTW, do you know where the extra "t" comes from?
